Riddle me this:
What do cult legend actor Cash Flagg and notorious cult independant '60s B-film maker Ray Dennis Steckler have in common?
Answer:
Just about everything!!! They are the same person!! Actually the name Cash came from Steckler always making his checks out to 'cash'.
And with that riddle solved, that brings us to our movie. This flick was writen and directed by R. D. Steckler and stars his on screen persona Cash Flagg. And many consider this Camp Cult Classic his greatest achievement.
This week our flick is:
So what's it about? Well it seems three homicidal maniacs escape from an asylum and go on a killing spree and team up with one of the maniacs brother, Mort 'Mad Dog' Click, who is on rampage of his own. The thrills go on in campy black and white, setting the precident for killers on the rampage movies. The killers get hostages, kill hitchhickers, cut off heads, kill a cop, hell, they even steal a horse.Each is a twisted maniac in his own way. Mort hates people cause they are no good and kills them, and Gary is so claustrophobic he is incited to violence when someone closes a door. It even has a diner scene, years before Natural Born Killers. And this movie is even based on a true story , it says so on the box....

You may have some trouble finding this flick. My copy is the Camp Video (and Bob Dobbs approved) release.
But I've heard there is another version availible with a color introduction. However, I've not seen either of them for sale anywhere. But if you see one, buy it cause this is a TRUE CULT CLASSIC and they don't make 'em like this anymore.
